Question

The enrollment in a government school increased by 15% from the last year. If 1500 enrolled in the last year, how many enrolled in this year?

Answer 1

Answer:

No. of enrollments this year = 1500 + 15% of 1500

15% of 1500 = 15/100 × 1500 = 225

∴ No. of enrollments this year = 1500 + 225 = 1725

Answer 2

Answer:

1275

Step-by-step explanation:

This year's students=1500

The students had increased by 15%

So, no. of students last year=1500 - {(15/100)*1500}

=1500-225

=1275

Therefore the number of students last year=1275 students
